The Joy of Daily Drawing. Bob Custers

Bob Custers is architect and founder of VOCUS Architects. In The Joy of Daily Drawing. Bob Custers, he shows a unique and complete development in drawing of 50 years, in which the growth from child to adult architect can be seen. The result is a book of more than 600 pages that contains a wealth of images, texts and insights. The book shows the value of drawing as a means of reflection, introspection and research, but above all contains an inspiring message for young designers and architecture students who are at the start of their development: keep drawing!


'During drawing, a new reality unfolds on paper. You create a world of your own, without rules or laws of others. For me, drawing equals experiencing total freedom.'

'In a handmade sketch you directly open up the reservoir of memories, ideas, images and fantasies, and space for research and exploration emerges.'
